Brain maldevelopment or injury in utero can cause life-long disability. Focussing on improvements in imaging methods, therapeutics, and perinatal care that can help to identify, prevent, or treat brain problems in the fetus and newborn, this new edition brings the reader fully up to date with recent advances in clinical management and outcome assessment. Updated material includes protective strategies for pre-term and term infants, ways of promoting of brain development in the neonatal intensive care unit, resuscitation, and immediate care after resuscitation (golden hour care), and parental perspectives, particularly strategies for communicating with families. An outstanding international team of highly experienced neonatologists and maternal-fetal medicine clinicians have produced a practical and authoritative clinical text offering clear management advice to all clinicians involved in the treatment of the fetus and newborn.

Improvements in the detection of fetal and neonatal brain injuries, advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology, cellular and molecular bases of encephalopathy, and new treatment options have all combined to produce significant changes in the management of neonatal brain disorders in the past few years. This new edition of Fetal and Neonatal Brain Injury brings the reader fully up to date with all advances in clinical management and outcome assessment. Updated material includes inflammation focusing in particular on chorioamnionitis and fetal brain injury; genetic brain injury; and expanded sections on cholestasis, diabetes, and thyroid disease. An updated, highly illustrated chapter on structural and functional imaging of the fetal and neonatal brain is also included. An outstanding international team of highly experienced neonatologists and maternal-fetal medicine clinicians have produced a practical, authoritative clinical text that gives clear management advice to all clinicians involved in the treatment of these patients.
